Hi,

it seems that when you drag and drop a mask image onto a main view tab it no longer becomes the mask. The cursor changes to a 'window' style icon rather than the square box we had earlier. Did I miss the memo that said this behavior changed?

Thanks,

Best,

Hi, has changed. To generate the mask you have to drag and drop it under the main view tab. The function of the square box windows equals the size of the image source to the target.

Saludos, Alejandro.

Thanks Alejandro, I can confirm this is how it works now. I wish we wouldn't see changes like this. Shortcuts are pointless if they change.
Best,
